Day 5
Såmmarlappa - Tarraluoppal

15 km

Today the trail start to pick up some altitude.
We'll enter Padjelanta National Park and at the end of the day we penetrate the tree line.

When we continue from Såmmarlappa and leave the cabins behind us, we also leave the Tarra river. We will still follow it upstream along the valley, but now we are picking up height and can only enjoy the river from a distance. The trail is now definitely going upwards. Slowly but steadily.

After about 5 km we enter the Padjelanta National Park. Long stretches of bogs and duckboards alternate with dry moors and open white-birch forests. About 5 km before the Tarraluoppal cabins we enter altitudes where white birches have no access. 1 km before we reach Tarraluoppal there is a stream to be forded. It could be a piece of cake like so many before, but it could also require us to put on our wading gears ones more.

The Tarraluoppal cabins are built on a small hill between a river and a large swampy area with willows. The marsh below the cabins is a mosquito heaven. Here is their last bastion this side Padjelanta tableland. This is where they keep their best troops.
